Project life cycle models are particularly helpful in terms of laying out decisions to be made in sequence, so that you're not tempted to make certain decisions (and therefore cut yourself off from other possibilities) any sooner than you need to. Of course, this depends on the model being an appropriate reflection of the actual decision process. The more general the model, the more twisting and shoving one might have to do to make it really applicable in any particular instance. Thus, there are numerous formulations of such models of varying utility in varying circumstances. Although they all may share the same general ideas, when examined in detail they may result in different recommendations.

"Discuss various stages in the project life cycle based on the type of IT organization structure you have seen."

Your task is to synthesize the different versions and descriptions of the project life cycle that you've heard and read about into what you regard as a single formulation that would be of the most help to you in terms of planning a household move-a project with which most of you are already familiar, with experiences both good and not so good. You are to use the various formulations of the model found in these sources; some are likely to be better supported by the literature and the evidence than others. Obviously, as noted below, this will obligate you to actually be able to present such evidence in an academically respectable manner.

Your paper should be short, 4 pages, not including cover sheet and references) and to the point. It is to be structured in the following manner.

You are expected to:

- Begin this paper by stating your position on this question of stages, clearly and concisely

- Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can. Use a household move, either one of yours or one you might be contemplating, or even someone else's experience, as a source of real-world examples to shore up your argument.

- Then present the best evidence you can, again citing appropriate sources, against your position-that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position.

- Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.

By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position.
